Lucky Boy in the Lucky Country
Corden has written a charming and insightful account of his professional and personal life, from his childhood in Breslau, Germany, until his retirement in Melbourne. The book is divided into two parts. Part I considers Corden's early life, from a young boy growing up in Nazi Germany, to his immigration from England to Australia and what that means for the author's self-identity. Part II addresses Corden's work on the Australian Protection Policy for which he is perhaps best known, before reflecting upon the author's time at Oxford University and the Australian National University, and, finally, moving on to review contributions made at the IMF, Johns Hopkins University, and The World Bank. This book will be of interest to all aspiring economists, as well as established economists familiar with Corden's work. It is an inspiring and profound record of the intellectual journey made by one of Australia's best known economists.
Trade Policy and Economic Welfare
The second edition of this classic text on international economics has been substantially revised and updated to take account of the considerable activity in this field over the last two decades. Three new chapters discuss trade policy and the environment, strategic trade policy, and tradepolicy and the exchange rate. Corden also analyzes in detail the many arguments for protection.
International Trade Theory and Policy
Max Corden has become established as one of the world's leading authorities on international trade theory. This text provides a selection of some of his most important work including, empirical work on protection and a review of the normative theory of international trade.
The Palgrave Companion to Oxford Economics
The University of Oxford has been and continues to be one of the most important global centres for economics. With six chapters on themes in Oxford economics and 24 chapters on the lives and work of Oxford economists, this volume shows how economics became established at the University, how it produced some of the world’s best-known economists, including Francis Ysidro Edgeworth, Roy Harrod and David Hendry, and how it remains a global force for the very best in teaching and research in economics. With original contributions from a stellar cast, this volume provides economists – especially those interested in macroeconomics and the history of economic thought – with the first in-depth analysis of Oxford economics.
Inflation, Exchange Rates and the World Economy
For this edition the text has been updated, and three chapters added on the new world of flexible exchange rates and capital mobility.

The Postwar International Money Crisis
First Published in 2005. The book has two principal aims. First, to provide a description of the major international monetary developments in the industrial world in the post-war years. Second, to evaluate and analyse these developments by reference to a theoretical framework and, in addition, to look at the key policy issues in the context of the new environment of the last decade.
REFLECTIONS ON MONETARISM
The last 20 years have seen severe macroeconomic instability in Britain, with three extreme and highly damaging boom-bust cycles. Professor Tim Congdon, one of the City's most well-known commentators, has been an influential critic of successive governments' failures in economic policy throughout this period. Reflections on Monetarism brings together his most important academic papers and journalism, including his remarkably prescient series of articles in The Times from 1985 to 1988 forecasting that the Lawson credit boom would wreck the Thatcher Government's reputation for sound financial management. He presents a powerful argument that the root cause of Britain's economic instability has been the volatile growth of credit and the money supply.
